2012 Black Girls Rock Profound Quotes

Black Girls Rock Fashion, Beauty,  and Power: One question that is often presented to me  is What Encompasses Beauty?  Over the years I have shared many quotes as what I think defines beauty although, the meaning will vary with each individual woman. Finding the true essence of what defines your style & beauty must come from within. I believe every woman has her defining style whether its through the twinkle in her eye, the fullness of her lips,  the sway in her stride or the strength in her presence. I can walk-up to an individual and compliment her without a second thought that she is competition. We must learn to support each other, as a team, we can be  more effective standing together, than trying to stand alone.  An inspiring moment I look forward to every year is "Black Girls Rock"  as I sit and watch the show, for me its not about color, but the character these women exude should make any woman strive to be and do better.  Each year I have a take away that I share and below is last years.

BGR- Inspires me to look deep within the essence of not only myself, but also the power of other women. POWER isn't just about leadership. Understanding that each one of us is in control of turning the power within on. Owning the inner essence of who you are ; who you want to be, and allowing yourself to have a support team that guides you all the way. While dressing-up and getting GLAM is fun, true GLAM is "God Loves Always Magnifies." To view last years Black Girls Rock.

"EMPOWERED" BY BLACK GIRLS ROCK...

I truly look forward to watching Black Girls Rock. Its not so much about the title of the non-profit organization that is now a 2 hour celebration on BET. Celebrating a list of phenomenal women who just happen to be black. This year's BGR hosted by two exceptional women in their own right. Trace Ellis Ross & Regina King. I have a bypass opinion towards  Regina King, because I have seen her evolved into a beautiful woman all while keeping her true identity. And Miss Trace Ross known for her independent roll on Girlfriends.  Both women continually making strives and placing their footsteps in the sand.

BGR- Inspires me to look deep within the essence of not only myself , but also the power of other women. POWER isn't just about leadership. Understanding that each one of us is in control of turning that power within on. Owning the inner essence of who you are ; who you want to be and allowing yourself to have a support team that guides you all the way.

These women are unique, fierce, intelligent, gifted, strong and carry a spirituality full of love dancing to the tune of their own drum. A recipe that consist of vanilla, caramel, caramel latte, mocha, chocolate, and dark chocolate. A complete melting pot of girls rocking to the beat of passion and success. Cultivating the I CAN do anything attitude. Attitude a word that seldom is use in a negative context, however the POWER of the attitude keeps you focused to strive to do better. OPRAH's quote “When You Know Better; You Do Better”. And having a group of women such as these to give you a boost of empowerment that “WE” can do better. I only ask for one thing to those who are reading this post. That women  learn to support each other more, than we tear down. And only then we can all rise to the pinnacle of our destiny. However, ladies you CAN NOT do it alone. It takes support, mentoring & loving each other. Not the side eye, turned up lip, stank attitude that you are better.

This year I'm empowered by all the Black Girls Rock honorees, presenters and talented group of women. Owning your power is about sharing your successes & failures with others. I prayer that one day we can truly be authentically supportive of each other success & triumphs to make life better for ourselves, our families and while keeping in mind there are young women watching our every move.

Regina King & Beverly Bond
Fierce & Fabulous

A rocking shout out to Beverly Bond for creating Black Girls Rock. A positive reminder such as this is just what we need. Giving praising & thanks to the many women who are setting the path of life, that you to can achieve. Regardless if you walk in the footsteps of acting, music artist, producer, entrepreneur, leader & YES, the first woman president. There are many footsteps for you to follow or be unique & create a new destiny. Achieving goals in life isn't easy & if it were easy you wouldn't appreciate the blessings. 

Let this be a present reminder to Never Give Up.

P.U.S.H {Push, Pray Until Something Happens} . And when it doesn't happen when yo expect it, know deep down in your heart that God knows & understands the vision for a life of abundance.

In closing if you give yourself any gift. Give yourself the gift to surround yourself with like minded individuals that will authentically uplift & support you un-conditionally. If this show doesn't light a fire under you . There's only one additional gift that will. "GOD". Trust, believe & under no circumstance do you give up! Continue rocking while pursuing your dreams & desires. Each day is a new day to be Empowered, Encourage & grab hold of your Equal Opportunity as a Woman.

Trust & Believe and Under No Circumstance

"Never Give Up"

Last year's I ROCK...I ROCK for many reasons but the one I live by is: Living everyday like a FABULOUS Party~not just through living, but loving "ME" and most importantly loving "GOD".

This year's I ROCK:

I ROCK... by God's grace & mercy, that I know through him & him only living in “JOY” is possible. By any means necessary I'm grabbing hold of and not letting go. This means in order to move forward if I must leave a few behind then so be it. On a new navigation of   “JOY”, “GRACE”  “SERENITY”. I will keep driving until I hear his whisper saying my child you have arrived. 

Black Girls Rock: Since 2006 dedicated to the  healthy development of young women & girls. Black Girls Rocks seeks to build their self-esteem and  self-worth by changing their outlook on life and broadening their horizons all while helping to empower themselves.

BLACK GIRLS ROCK EVENING MISSION:
Believe In Yourself Fearlessly

I was focused and ready to take it all in during the time of 8:00 pm-10:00 pm PST , There was no way I wanted to be disturb. So I made sure of it by posting to all my twitter followers: Just finish a GRT8 dinner now getting ready 2 watch @BLACKGIRLSROCK on @BET I'll be N the zone so friends this is said N LOVE #DONOTDISTURB. It took everything in me not to twit all the motivational messages during that two hour time frame from both Host, Presenters and Honorees not to mentioned the entertainment by a host of Fabulous Women sounding off Anthem Songs just for "US" Women., while supported by an all girl band. A message behind the words, it was most definitely powerful.


"HISTORY"
As I sit back & watched intensely BGR honoree & celebrate many great women. You couldn't help but be inspired by the words of various artist. If you watched the show and truly listen to each & ever word you were inspired & ready to make a change in your future or give of your time to make a difference to someone less fortunate. You succeed by remembering those who paved the way to make each day a little easier for us. It's key to have supportive people to hold you up, sho should you fall they will give you the encouragement to let no one steal your light for Greatness. What may seem impossible is just a bitter vitamin, you know you must take it to stay on the path to greatness. So every time you feel discouraged say to yourself "I CAN ROCK THIS".

"GET FOCUSED"
If you're trying to accomplish a passion, a dream, a destiny. Re-evaluate your inner circle & clean house of any toxins that are contaminating what just might be holding you back. Value your "WORTH" believe in yourself & "FOCUSED" for those who don't have your back let them stay in your "BLINDSPOT". For your direction is navigated by a higher power.


"MANY THANKS"
It doesn't take alot to get me inspired, because I'm already a believer in all things great. As I watch the show & took in so much wisdom of all facets of life from extraordinary, phenomenal women. One thing I realized is ; Dreams are more than a Vision. It's a detailed thought provided by God transforming the direction to you to take lead & move forward in life. No one knows your desires & dreams more than him. Listen, take his direction & soar my Beautiful Black Sister. I want to humbly thank all the women who have paved the way & made it alot easier for me to be the confidant, empowered women I am today. I believe in Me, I believe there are greater things in store for my future & I"m embracing the vanilla black girl in me to continue rocking it 110%.

I ROCK for many reasons, but the one I live by is : Living everyday like a FABULOUS Party~not just through living, but loving "LIFE", loving "ME" and most importantly loving "GOD".
